So because his views on gay marriage differ from yours makes him a hate monger? Typical liberal bullshit. I bet if some Christian hating faggot wanted to speak you'd be all for it.

Well, he did compare gay marriage to "man on dog" sex, to use his words. I can see why Nova would be offended by that.

It doesn't matter, though, because from what I've heard, Santorum's speech was going to be limited to the topics of leadership and public service, the type of speech that any politician of any stripe would give to high school students.

Maybe the school administrators googled his name and it kicked off the border management thing.

I don't need to "defend" the school, or have any opinion about Santorum's appearance.

OK but in your post you were giving that impression.

True, but he is being held to a different standard than other speakers. That's why the thread was started. Liberal speakers, regardless of their radical views, won't need the signed permission slips.

Irrelevant to the story and yes, he has no chance in 2016, so what. If he's starting his campaign, so be it. It has nothing to do with the university's ridiculous stance that students need permission slips to hear him speak.

Acknowledge the double standard for crying out loud and stop defending it.

I don't know what they've asked of other speakers.
